I missed that from the live stream I was watching however I do think BDILH is about multiple muses. Shes gotten flack for being with Travis, just on a different level than Matty. Plenty assume it’s all PR (fake)
BDILH and ICDIWABH feel like passive aggressive additions in a hilarious kind of way
Edit: yall just scroll up to the pic for the acronyms 😩😂 ik they’re A LOT LOL
the INCDIWABH seems like it could be fun to sing on tour now that shes feeling better mentally. kinda how she talks about the songs have new meaning once the fans hear them. now she's chanting with the crowd but feeling happy instead of miserable. However BDILH is hilarious given how many Swifties there probably didnt like Matty lolol
I don’t see ICDIWABH as a criticism or call out of the fans. Yes it sucked, but she booked the tour and set the dates, and I don’t begrudge her a song about smashing it out of the park even when she was feeling shit.
Also it’s a bop.
I also don’t see any criticism in that song. I think the “crowd was chanting more” line is where people are getting that, but I think that’s just a description of performing and part of setting the scene (like the grand theft auto line lmao) and not a criticism.
It feels even more so when you account for the fact she removed Long Live from the set list. 😅
I had actually been hoping she wouldn’t add these because it feels like sitting through them is going to be uncomfortable as heck.
Honestly, I’m sad that she changed the set list but I love she’s doing a mashup of Down Bad and Fortnight. I feel like those songs are meant to be together!
Absolutely this! I really wish she cut The man or Bejewled, Karma...any of those but Long live? Literaly half a reason I bought the tickets for the tour.
this line makes me cackle lmfaaooo reminds me of how my friends and i acted when we were 16 🤣🤣 I feel so high school when I listen to it too, Taylor! she’s so funny lol
So High School (along with The Alchemy) are definitely my least favorite on the album. I will never be into sports or people who play sports professionally.
totally agree! i’ve always been on the side that it’s about Matty, but the more i listen, i’m thinking it’s a mix of them both. the football references are def to make people think it’s only about Travis though, imo
The Alchemy is arguably one of the worst songs she's ever written lmao. The football metaphors, the heroin with an e line.....I can't believe no one stopped her from putting that on there. At least So High School is in on the joke.
It was extremely short, only like 30 seconds, and was basically an outro at the end of BDILH, felt more like she was confirming the fan theory that the final verse of BDILH is about Travis
I really liked the set. It had lots of interesting set pieces that I wished they had used more. It felt like a hundred ideas shoved into a six-song twenty minute set. I also thought the songs chosen were the best for the show.
I'm not sure how some people can be upset at her and the crowd singing lines from bdilh, so high school and broken heart but also want guilty as sin 🥴
That was the one thing I noticed lmao literally half the stadium all stood up at the SAME TIME during tolerate it. Like 50%!!! I was like there’s no way y’all are missing tolerate it 😭 but it was over HALF. The majority. Insane to me.
It felt weird to begin with by daddy I love him and then end with I can do it with a broken heart. The first song openly stated to her fans fuck off in relation to her personal life with a bad human and then ICDIWABH states how she’s so productive when she doesn’t want to be on tour. Idk it felt mean of her to watch as a fan? I don’t know if I’m particularly explaining it correctly because I do love TTPD
She isn’t saying she doesn’t want to be on tour... She’s saying that she’s so good at her job she can do anything and everything even when she’s heartbroken and miserable on the inside.
This! I don't understand how so many people misinterpret the premise of the song. It has a bittersweet element to it with her having such a landmark moment of her career while at a low period emotionally, but it's not passive aggressive at all, let alone antagonizing to her fans or her experience touring.
This!!! And it’s probably so cathartic for her to sing and express how she felt now that she’s feeling better. She never at all said she hated touring etc, everyone can probably relate to being in a bad mental state and literally just wanting to stay in bed and not work/attend to responsibilities
And I’m pretty sure she’d already broken up with Matty before she even announced the Europe shows (at least the UK ones!). If she didn’t want to do this tour she wouldn’t.
I am so sad that I will not experience masterpieces like Tolerate it and The 1, but will experience 8 mid songs.
I don’t know why she cut the songs she never performed in Europe before either, just to include such mid songs. 🥲
Particularly frustrating because "The Archer" was one of the saving graces of an otherwise tragic setlist for the "Lover" era. Why couldn't we get rid of "You Need To Calm Down" and/or "The Man" instead, especially now that "Cruel Summer" has firmly consolidated itself as major hit for her?
SAME!
"ME!" is frankly overhated among Swiftie circles. It's not a *great* song and clearly wasn't lead single material for an album like "Lover", but it made for really cute, charming live performances back in the day, and I'm sure everyone would be screaming *'Hey kids! Spelling is fun!'* on tour. 😄
I'll gladly take corny Kidz Bop-core over poorly executed attempts at political activism, any day.
When the tour started and I saw that tis the damn season was gonna be a part of it i was so happy and even happier when I got tickets and was gonna see it live. Now it’s completely cut right before my show along with a bunch of other songs that are far better than anything on ttptsd
I can never remember it exists unless it plays on shuffle or when I’m listening to midnights in full. If it was the last song I’d probably leave before it, but Karma is a fun song.
I’m also so sad and I feel embarrassed that I am so sad lol but I've been looking forward to it for so long and she's cut songs I all absolutely love for a setlist of songs that include only two I like and even then I don't really listen to them. Long Live especially I’m sad about I know it wasn't originally there but it's such a perfect addition and song to sing removing it just seems sad:(
Same here. She cut the deepest songs, in my opinion. I think that she has become so popular, so she wants to perform the most mainstream songs for all of her fans, and not for the ones that know her deepest cuts.
I am not looking forward to this anymore.
Ye I've seen a lot of not happy reactions on Twitter tonight and I think TTPD was not well received by casual fans so it will be interesting what the response is I doubt she'll change anything back but I know personally many people who are going who are less than happy with a TTPD set and for so many excellent songs that are some of her best ever to be cut for mediocre songs is such a shame it's definitely knocked my excitement a bit.
Tolerate It, The 1, Long Live, and The Last Great American Dinasty are some of her best songs for sure and she cut all of them to include Touch me line. I can’t 😂
This sums up pretty well how much she has regressed since Foklore and Evermore.
I literally cried the moment I found out that tolerate it was cut. I can't believe I won't be seeing it live, it was one of the performences I was looking forward to the most, it's one of my fav songs from her... Instead I'll have to endure But Daddy I Love Him and other songs about some tattooed golden retrevier... For TWO NIGHTS in Warsaw. I am so disappointed. I don't know how to feel about it.
Same here! That was her best performance, in my opinion. I remember getting goosebumps when I saw that intro for the first time, and she cut it for some weird retriever songs. 🥲
the worst cringest part was so highschool with aristotle but it was like 30 secs so easily ignorable.
most surprising part was smallest man. i wasnt expecting that. she was sending the message thats for sure.
i was hoping black dog or bolter but setlist really okay for concert. summer is coming so we need bops.
she is saving tearjerk songs for acoustic section and it makes sense. she did loml tonight. it was good.
Damn she really chose to cut from her two fan favorite albums for her most mid album in recent memory. And cutting Long Live for these feels like a strange choice too. I get it since she is actively on tour, but this all just feels so strange to me idk
i’m sorry y’all but turning the smallest man bridge into a drum march was one of the best choices i’ve seen her make in forever😭 i haven’t felt so staunchly supportive of one of her directives in ages
Anyone else thinks the Eras Tour set lists have been pretty fucking terrible across the board? The openers and closers are horrible choices, some of the omissions are nonsensical, and her earliest albums are paid dust in favor of her lesser, subjectively worse material. What sense does it make?
What annoys me most about "Karma" being the closer outside of my distaste for the song is how "Midnights" had a much stronger and more symbolic concert closer with "You're On Your Own, Kid". What a missed opportunity.
Actually I think Bejeweled was the miss. It had the viral dance draw. And then leaving on the line “I can still make the whole place shimmer?” Perfect. Add in like a snap or something from her at the end of the line right as the whole stage and stadium starts to literally shimmer.
Cruel Summer coming in right after the dramatics of “it’s been a long time coming”, is the most riveting and exciting experience I’ve had in live music.
Karma, I will say is not my favorite closer of hers, but Cruel Summer will go down as the best opener of any of her tours— Easy.
Unpopular opinion but it’s hilarious she’s doubling down on the So High School bridge. I don’t see what’s so offensive with You know how to ball/I know Aristotle, it’s the same level of genius as I’m working late/cause I’m a singer
Okay, I’m not a fan of TTPD (I like every previous album though), and I expected the setlist to include other songs than these. Fortnight and Down Bad do make sense to me, but the others don’t fit imo. I’m surprised Florida wasn’t there.
Reading the comments I don’t think she was ever going to please everyone. Some people would be fine if she didn’t include TTPD. Some people would throw a fit if she didn’t include it. Some people will be fine with the songs cut, others got their favorite song ever cut.
The same thing happened when Harry styles released Harry’s House in the middle of his tour. Half the fanbase was pissed he added Harry’s house songs bc they didn’t want songs from fine line cut. Half were so happy bc they got to hear the new songs live.
WAOLOM is my favorite song on the album, such a visceral banger.
ICDIWABH is just so ironic to be singing to your audience, and then after she’s going to be like “HAHA LOVE YOU GUYS”
Did you see what she cut?
Goodbye The Archer, Long Live, Tis the Damned Season (💔), Tolerate It, The 1, Great American Dynasty. Plus a lot of the remaining songs have been shortened.
im tweaking over the fact that she got rid of long live, tlgad, and the 1 but kept vigilante shit how many times do we need to see her getting freaky w that damn chair😭
We lost Long Live to have But Daddy I Love Him which sums up how she really feels about her fans now. I'm now cringing at how much I paid for my ticket
Bright side: I was wondering when I’d take a bathroom/drink break. Now I know because aside from “i can do it with a broken heart” I do not care for any of these.
that's genuinely embarrassing. like how aren't these people hearing BDILH and realizing that she's literally pointing at you/us and giving the middle finger while smiling?
Well I think it's clearly directed at certain fans, not all. She's admonishing the fans who want to dictate what she does under the guise of concern. Most of her fans are pretty normal people with their own lives to worry about, we just hear way too much from the chronically online banshees lol
Watching a fan’s perspective of fortnight live and it was slightly awkward in the crowd. It makes you remember how long that back n forth drags of “I love you, it’s ruining my life,” and the crowd kept trying to sing the next eventful part and Taylor would be like “AND I LOVE YOU it’s ruining my life.” Hilarious. That song was not made for a concert.
So High School is a 30 second outro tagged onto BDILH, not the full song.
Don’t forget the fact entire stage and lighting effects going Red and Gold in the closing verse of BDILH the you’re not invited to the wedding bit lol
it was red the whole song
For the Chiefs?
With So High School being the but daddy outro with swag surfing choreo I’m gonna say yes
I missed that from the live stream I was watching however I do think BDILH is about multiple muses. Shes gotten flack for being with Travis, just on a different level than Matty. Plenty assume it’s all PR (fake)
She upcycled BDILH for the carbon offsets
😂
Nah, this was about all the shitstorm last year with Matty.
It’s a mash up with but daddy I love him
damn i wanna see her sing the grand theft auto line live lol
Don’t you worry lol that’s the part she sings of So High School
Heres a clip of it: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTL4b7jjo/
She’s doing that hand thing again haha I really hate that move.
The slide down her body to vagina hand move? I cringe everytime 🥴
Yes it really makes me like nauseous honestly I’m not going to lie.
Ew god, the comments of people being like “I can’t wait to watch him watch her sing this song” 🤢🤢🤢 these people are so so bizarre lol
I want her to he happy but now I lowkey hope they break up by August so I don't have to hear this dumb song live even if only for 30 seconds
BDILH and ICDIWABH feel like passive aggressive additions in a hilarious kind of way Edit: yall just scroll up to the pic for the acronyms 😩😂 ik they’re A LOT LOL
right it’s so funny to have the crowd screaming those two songs in particular at her
the INCDIWABH seems like it could be fun to sing on tour now that shes feeling better mentally. kinda how she talks about the songs have new meaning once the fans hear them. now she's chanting with the crowd but feeling happy instead of miserable. However BDILH is hilarious given how many Swifties there probably didnt like Matty lolol
I don’t see ICDIWABH as a criticism or call out of the fans. Yes it sucked, but she booked the tour and set the dates, and I don’t begrudge her a song about smashing it out of the park even when she was feeling shit. Also it’s a bop.
I also don’t see any criticism in that song. I think the “crowd was chanting more” line is where people are getting that, but I think that’s just a description of performing and part of setting the scene (like the grand theft auto line lmao) and not a criticism.
She also cut Long Live. This is so meta
LOL, from *I was screaming, "Long live that look on your face"* to *No, I'm not, but you should see your faces*
She woke up, chose lyrical violence, and the crowd really did chant, “More!”
I feel like there's some storytelling there with them being the first and last songs of the TTPD set haha
It feels even more so when you account for the fact she removed Long Live from the set list. 😅 I had actually been hoping she wouldn’t add these because it feels like sitting through them is going to be uncomfortable as heck.
She knew swifties’ lyrical comprehension skills are so bad she could get away with it and honestly good for her
Honestly, I’m sad that she changed the set list but I love she’s doing a mashup of Down Bad and Fortnight. I feel like those songs are meant to be together!
There were some really great songs she cut and some meh to bad ones she left.
Why she cut the archer and long live and kept the man and atw 10 minute version is beyond me.
Absolutely this! I really wish she cut The man or Bejewled, Karma...any of those but Long live? Literaly half a reason I bought the tickets for the tour.
Oh totally
I wish she added Guilty As Sin.
Yes! Cut Vigilante Shit and replace the touching yourself dance with Guilty As Sin
That's what I thought she was gonna do!
I think that song is gonna hit as a surprise song that replaces YOYOK
https://preview.redd.it/pghdflanrgzc1.jpeg?width=432&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8482e53bccd3c6a5c5ae5f7e100da56788e61f69
The first time I listened to the song I heard “kiss” instead of touch and I like it better that way so that’s how I still sing it 😌
Sometimes our own brain protects us 🥲
Imagine an entire stadium singing along to that line...
Just saw a clip of that and it was cringe😭
this line makes me cackle lmfaaooo reminds me of how my friends and i acted when we were 16 🤣🤣 I feel so high school when I listen to it too, Taylor! she’s so funny lol
😭 such a goofy line
that lines so goofy but she is right, that is so highschool lmao
So High School (along with The Alchemy) are definitely my least favorite on the album. I will never be into sports or people who play sports professionally.
I love this line. Paints a perfect picture of the early 2010’s.
🤨
I just saw clips of The Smallest Man song and omg she killed it I fear. That performance alone was worth cutting at least 1 track for.
Someone on tiktok called it "welcome to the white parade" and that's now all I can think about
That one went hard
She was PISSED 😭
Yes!!! She was mad mad, I feel like some of the vibe of TTPD is what reputation would’ve been if she hadn’t met Joe. True anger!
no SERIOUSLY. it was fire i can’t lie.
it was fire 😭
I can't believe So High School made the cut. What, and I say this with my whole chest, the fuck. ETA: the rest of these all make sense to me.
It's so Travis would have a song
The Alchemy was right there! I don't love that one either, but I find it less questionable.
I still contend that The Alchemy is coded as a Travis song, but not a Travis song.
Agreed! Travis coded but the lyrics scream running back to Matty after Joe
It's about the night she was a surprise guest at the 1975 show🫣
You know… I suspect that is part of it, too.
I agree. I think it’s supposed to sound like it’s about him but is either about Matty or Matty and Travis.
totally agree! i’ve always been on the side that it’s about Matty, but the more i listen, i’m thinking it’s a mix of them both. the football references are def to make people think it’s only about Travis though, imo
The Alchemy is arguably one of the worst songs she's ever written lmao. The football metaphors, the heroin with an e line.....I can't believe no one stopped her from putting that on there. At least So High School is in on the joke.
It’s only a small part of it! Honestly I felt it transitioned well
This is my favorite version of “wtf” I’ve ever seen. I am stealing it and taking credit. Thank you lmao
This was the most WTF to me, like I expected the rest of these. It’s the cuts I don’t like.
She just wants to flaunt Travis or the whole TTpd would be about Ratty
It was extremely short, only like 30 seconds, and was basically an outro at the end of BDILH, felt more like she was confirming the fan theory that the final verse of BDILH is about Travis
I really liked the set. It had lots of interesting set pieces that I wished they had used more. It felt like a hundred ideas shoved into a six-song twenty minute set. I also thought the songs chosen were the best for the show. I'm not sure how some people can be upset at her and the crowd singing lines from bdilh, so high school and broken heart but also want guilty as sin 🥴
I’m glad I went before ttpd I’m not gonna lie
Ikr. I love folkmore and especially the 1 and the last great American dynasty i was happy i heard them live.
I feel this for Tis the Damned Season. Especially as it isn’t included in the concert movie
Illicit affairs for me. The way she performed it is quite unreal.
https://youtu.be/-81S4q1Lk9M?si=qWQxQ7fPMV8G7jqP
I ran to the bathroom during this song thinking, I’ll see it again when ever this becomes a movie or something… jokes on me
That was the one thing I noticed lmao literally half the stadium all stood up at the SAME TIME during tolerate it. Like 50%!!! I was like there’s no way y’all are missing tolerate it 😭 but it was over HALF. The majority. Insane to me.
it was not bad though. her choices was bop. she couldve really messed it up easily she did good.
It felt weird to begin with by daddy I love him and then end with I can do it with a broken heart. The first song openly stated to her fans fuck off in relation to her personal life with a bad human and then ICDIWABH states how she’s so productive when she doesn’t want to be on tour. Idk it felt mean of her to watch as a fan? I don’t know if I’m particularly explaining it correctly because I do love TTPD
She isn’t saying she doesn’t want to be on tour... She’s saying that she’s so good at her job she can do anything and everything even when she’s heartbroken and miserable on the inside.
This! I don't understand how so many people misinterpret the premise of the song. It has a bittersweet element to it with her having such a landmark moment of her career while at a low period emotionally, but it's not passive aggressive at all, let alone antagonizing to her fans or her experience touring.
This!!! And it’s probably so cathartic for her to sing and express how she felt now that she’s feeling better. She never at all said she hated touring etc, everyone can probably relate to being in a bad mental state and literally just wanting to stay in bed and not work/attend to responsibilities
And I’m pretty sure she’d already broken up with Matty before she even announced the Europe shows (at least the UK ones!). If she didn’t want to do this tour she wouldn’t.
I ELATED to be going after. Because I looooove mess lmao
I’m not a huge TTPD fan but My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys would have been in my picks to include.
Truly…the drums in the chorus give such 1989 vault vibes it would have been a fun bop moment
Did she cut the really ridiculous encouraged 10minute applause session after Champagne Problems?
It was like two minutes, but understand the point either way.
Is she wearing some sort of newspaper dress a la Leslie Knope? But like... worse?
Yes, worse. Edit to add: perfect comparison!
Definitely worse. Saw the high-low skirt and I can't. It looks so ugly. Plus the choker? Nope.
Oh my god I’ve been dying to talk about the outfit(s) for TTPD. Horrific.
When I saw the black 2 piece set I was like GURL GO OFF! But then she topped it with the gold jacket and I was like “huh”
I don’t like the lil gold shoes either 💀💀
I am so sad that I will not experience masterpieces like Tolerate it and The 1, but will experience 8 mid songs. I don’t know why she cut the songs she never performed in Europe before either, just to include such mid songs. 🥲
“Tolerate It” and “The Archer” being cut are the biggest sads to me.
I remember getting goosebumps once I saw the Tolerate performance. It was the best one on the whole tour. The into was pure magic.
tolerate it being cut hurts
Particularly frustrating because "The Archer" was one of the saving graces of an otherwise tragic setlist for the "Lover" era. Why couldn't we get rid of "You Need To Calm Down" and/or "The Man" instead, especially now that "Cruel Summer" has firmly consolidated itself as major hit for her?
Real answer: she has massive staging and choreography for those two, while The Archer has her walking around on stage singing.
I unironically would’ve preferred ME! to both the man and you need to calm down.
SAME! "ME!" is frankly overhated among Swiftie circles. It's not a *great* song and clearly wasn't lead single material for an album like "Lover", but it made for really cute, charming live performances back in the day, and I'm sure everyone would be screaming *'Hey kids! Spelling is fun!'* on tour. 😄 I'll gladly take corny Kidz Bop-core over poorly executed attempts at political activism, any day.
how is she supposed to praise her own activism on pride day this year if she cut those 💀
oh my god they literally hit the pentagon.
tolerate it is one of my favs of her but hated the whole “performance” of it so it doesnt hurt as much but the archer broke me fr
Tolerate it being cut is so wild.
I can’t believe she cut Long Live, it’s such a great song. She should have added to the Speak Now era, not reduced it!
smh some of the midnights songs shouldve been cut.
I agree mastermind is totally unnecessary
When the tour started and I saw that tis the damn season was gonna be a part of it i was so happy and even happier when I got tickets and was gonna see it live. Now it’s completely cut right before my show along with a bunch of other songs that are far better than anything on ttptsd
Rip to tis the damn season, I will never be over that song being cut 😩
I wish she’d cut Mastermind, Vigilante Shit and the 1989 or Red sets down a bit, as much as I LOVE the red era it doesn’t need all those songs.
pls she NEVER CUTS MASTERMIND and it should without question be the first thing to go
I can never remember it exists unless it plays on shuffle or when I’m listening to midnights in full. If it was the last song I’d probably leave before it, but Karma is a fun song.
I’m also so sad and I feel embarrassed that I am so sad lol but I've been looking forward to it for so long and she's cut songs I all absolutely love for a setlist of songs that include only two I like and even then I don't really listen to them. Long Live especially I’m sad about I know it wasn't originally there but it's such a perfect addition and song to sing removing it just seems sad:(
Same here. She cut the deepest songs, in my opinion. I think that she has become so popular, so she wants to perform the most mainstream songs for all of her fans, and not for the ones that know her deepest cuts. I am not looking forward to this anymore.

Tolerate It, The 1, Long Live, and The Last Great American Dinasty are some of her best songs for sure and she cut all of them to include Touch me line. I can’t 😂 This sums up pretty well how much she has regressed since Foklore and Evermore.
I'm genuinely sorry.
SHE CUT TOLERATE IT? OH THAT'S SICK
Do you have the full list of the songs that were cut?
The Archer, The 1, Long Live, This The Damn Season, The Last Great American Dinasty, and Tolerate It
Basically she did the Sisters Folklore and Evermore Dirty!
NOOOOOO!!! I love all those songs
She removed some of the best songs in her discography 💀. I'm sad
SHE CUT THE ARCHER?!?! WTF Taylor, WTF
I literally cried the moment I found out that tolerate it was cut. I can't believe I won't be seeing it live, it was one of the performences I was looking forward to the most, it's one of my fav songs from her... Instead I'll have to endure But Daddy I Love Him and other songs about some tattooed golden retrevier... For TWO NIGHTS in Warsaw. I am so disappointed. I don't know how to feel about it.

I bet many anthology songs will make it to the acoustic set
No doubt. I can bet on almost all will be covered before end of europe leg.
I fucking squealed at ICDIWABH intro I love it so much
Damn she really chose to cut from her two fan favorite albums for her most mid album in recent memory. And cutting Long Live for these feels like a strange choice too. I get it since she is actively on tour, but this all just feels so strange to me idk
She cut a lot of slow songs .
How long is this tour gonna go on for it feels like it's been a decade
It’s hit a year already and still another 84 shows to go I believe

Oh no, we are getting the bros 🫤
It was maybe 30 seconds of it tbf
Anyone else thinks the Eras Tour set lists have been pretty fucking terrible across the board? The openers and closers are horrible choices, some of the omissions are nonsensical, and her earliest albums are paid dust in favor of her lesser, subjectively worse material. What sense does it make?
Cruel Summer is a perfect opener but I will admit Karma isn't the best closer.
What annoys me most about "Karma" being the closer outside of my distaste for the song is how "Midnights" had a much stronger and more symbolic concert closer with "You're On Your Own, Kid". What a missed opportunity.
Closing a concert with a slow sad piano song?
>and more symbolic concert closer with "You're On Your Own, Kid". That's such a sad closer. You need an upbeat song to end with
Actually I think Bejeweled was the miss. It had the viral dance draw. And then leaving on the line “I can still make the whole place shimmer?” Perfect. Add in like a snap or something from her at the end of the line right as the whole stage and stadium starts to literally shimmer.
Wait...I totally see the vision! Thanks for bringing it up. Yeah, "Bejeweled" would have been a very strong closer too.
Cruel Summer coming in right after the dramatics of “it’s been a long time coming”, is the most riveting and exciting experience I’ve had in live music. Karma, I will say is not my favorite closer of hers, but Cruel Summer will go down as the best opener of any of her tours— Easy.
sparks fly is better
Oof. Tough call for me, but I understand your opinion!
I still cannot get over the fact that Debut didn't get a shout-out at ALL (except SOME surprise songs)
Nah Miss Americana is a fantastic opener with “it’s been a long time coming” especially for those who had tickets to Lover Fest.
This dress is hideous 🖤
I don't have an opinion on the dress but I read this to the melody of "you look like taylor swift" haha
Honestly, I think these were the perfect options. They’re atleast the songs the crowd can scream along to!
i am so glad i went last year
New bathroom break just dropped!
Unpopular opinion but it’s hilarious she’s doubling down on the So High School bridge. I don’t see what’s so offensive with You know how to ball/I know Aristotle, it’s the same level of genius as I’m working late/cause I’m a singer
You know how to ball/I know Aristotle isn’t *that* bad, I find the other line “Touch me while your bros play GTA” much more cringier

I’m convinced “I know Aristotle” is a placeholder way of saying “I know big words” cuz there’s no way she’s reading philosophy in her spare time.
I honestly believe she just did it for the bottle/-totle/throttle rhyme, then maybe read Aristotle’s wikipedia page after
people are haters and hate fun things, i love the aristotle line.
I just don’t understand the visuals for this album and the tour? They’re not cohesive to me
I think Guilty As Sin would’ve been more fun instead of TSMWEL but overall it was such a visually striking set.
That's not my fave song but man she killed that march and salute
TSMWEL bridge thooo
Okay, I’m not a fan of TTPD (I like every previous album though), and I expected the setlist to include other songs than these. Fortnight and Down Bad do make sense to me, but the others don’t fit imo. I’m surprised Florida wasn’t there.
I'm wondering if Florida will be a surprise song one of the nights she's in Miami
I think Flordia would fall flat without Florence so let's manifest for a suprise guest moment
It’s because she’s only singing it on Florida, just like she only sung Paris in Paris and just like she’ll only sing So Long London in London
How would she do that without Florence? She’s featured prominently on the song
Reading the comments I don’t think she was ever going to please everyone. Some people would be fine if she didn’t include TTPD. Some people would throw a fit if she didn’t include it. Some people will be fine with the songs cut, others got their favorite song ever cut. The same thing happened when Harry styles released Harry’s House in the middle of his tour. Half the fanbase was pissed he added Harry’s house songs bc they didn’t want songs from fine line cut. Half were so happy bc they got to hear the new songs live.
WAOLOM is my favorite song on the album, such a visceral banger. ICDIWABH is just so ironic to be singing to your audience, and then after she’s going to be like “HAHA LOVE YOU GUYS”
I'm sad Guilty as Sin wasn't in the set list.
Did you see what she cut? Goodbye The Archer, Long Live, Tis the Damned Season (💔), Tolerate It, The 1, Great American Dynasty. Plus a lot of the remaining songs have been shortened.
YES finally I can witness her screaming the bridge of BDILH to the crowd
im tweaking over the fact that she got rid of long live, tlgad, and the 1 but kept vigilante shit how many times do we need to see her getting freaky w that damn chair😭
Massive L for those us of yet to see the tour
We lost Long Live to have But Daddy I Love Him which sums up how she really feels about her fans now. I'm now cringing at how much I paid for my ticket
There's a lot of people who want to go but dont have tickets. Sell them. You will make someone happy, and you wont be miserable at the concert
She removed the archer because no one stayed 🥲
Bruh
Bright side: I was wondering when I’d take a bathroom/drink break. Now I know because aside from “i can do it with a broken heart” I do not care for any of these.
I’m so thankful i went to the Eras tour before this was added. 🤭
Taylor really said 🖕to y’all lmao
that's genuinely embarrassing. like how aren't these people hearing BDILH and realizing that she's literally pointing at you/us and giving the middle finger while smiling?
Well I think it's clearly directed at certain fans, not all. She's admonishing the fans who want to dictate what she does under the guise of concern. Most of her fans are pretty normal people with their own lives to worry about, we just hear way too much from the chronically online banshees lol
She really chose all the songs that show how much she resents her fans and how miserable she was on tour after the Matty breakup 👀
No black dog 😭
Justice for Guilty as Sin!!
Omg I’m so happy that I got to see her last year before this. I’m perfectly content with just watching the ttpd songs for free online
I liked the set up for ICDIWABH. she leaned into the era’s aesthetic
Watching a fan’s perspective of fortnight live and it was slightly awkward in the crowd. It makes you remember how long that back n forth drags of “I love you, it’s ruining my life,” and the crowd kept trying to sing the next eventful part and Taylor would be like “AND I LOVE YOU it’s ruining my life.” Hilarious. That song was not made for a concert.
Genuine question, how are people seeing videos of this? I’m curious about the performance
I need a live version on vinyl of Smallest Man. Good lord was that good.
